Theme of the Night: 9 to 5 Stories About Work 

The line-up for the show included a magazine editor, a peanut butter magnate, an architectural designer, two teachers, the manager of a community centre, a film-maker and a retired high court judge, a former policeman turned city councillor and an ex-nun turned psychotherapist. We leave it to you to guess who was who!
